SCIENCE

 We’ll start off strong with Gui doing some serious science experiments. Like Tony Stark he is trying to forge his suit out of titanium. After a lot of labour he managed to part a slice of grade 2 titanium, not an easy task. He then bought some equipment and formulated a contraption for anodizing.

Lovely titanium

Meanwhile Louis and I took our practice test for the final exam. 5 days of examination, a very tiring week. Afterwards I started some work on a lovely vintage Omega watch with a 267 caliber. They just don’t make it like they use to.


Our newest addition David is making good headway on his brass tools.

Henrik used this week to give Nick and David a comprehensive lesson on using the jig borer and milling machine. Very dangerous and expensive machinery, so it is crucial they are well introduced to its uses, keeping themselves and the machines safe.
Much machining


Last but not least we have Jaewon. Using the profile projector to make some drawings and designs on the 6498.

That’s it for this week. Until next time!
